Main
goal of this project is to support the operating procedures for the
trauma treatment of fractures and bone defects with the use of modern
methods of computer data processing and computer preoperative planning.
The project involves collaboration between experts from different
disciplines: traumatology, information technology and biomechanics (i.e.
development of medical devices). The project focuses on the
preoperative phase and the development of a software system that will
assist surgeons in identifying fractures, computer reconstruction of
bone fragments in the correct position and selecting the appropriate
implant. Using modern image processing techniques and data visualization
software will facilitate the assessment of fracture and creation of a surgery plan. The result will be a more appropriate choice of implant
and its fixation to prevent repeated corrections, unnecessary surgical
treatments and also reduce the burden on staff at multiple X-ray imaging
of the patient.
